If someone needs a stable version of libgtop, please fetch the one from May 27,
stuff is _really_ unstable and under development at the moment and only works under Linux. Please look in the ChangeLog and NEWS for a more detailed description of the latest changes. I'm going to town now. Have fun, Martin

===========
|
||||
|
||||
* We have some new ``suffix rules'':
|
||||
|
||||
'__l' is a function defined in the client part;
|
||||
'__s' is a function defined in the sysdeps part and
|
||||
'__p' is a function that needs special priviledges.
|
||||
'__r' is mapped either on '__p' or on '__s'.
|
||||
the function without suffix is mapped on '__l'.
|
||||
|
||||
* We now decide at runtime whether or not using the server
|
||||
is required for a particular function. All user programs
|
||||
now call the '__l' function defined in '-lgtop' (in the lib
|
||||
subdir). These functions either use 'glibtop_call__l' to
|
||||
call the server or call the '__r' function.
|
||||
|
||||
* A function in the sysdeps directory now has the '__s' suffix
|
||||
if it do not need any priviledges (and thus can be called directly
|
||||
from client code) and the '__p' suffix otherwise (when it has to
|
||||
be called from the server).
|
||||
|
||||
* If you call one of these functions:
|
||||
|
||||
-> use the '__p' suffix to be sure to get the SUID-safe one
|
||||
(used in the server).
|
||||
-> use the '__s' suffix to be sure to get a function that
|
||||
doesn't need any priviledges.
|
||||
-> use the '__r' suffix otherwise (it is mapped either on the
|
||||
'__p' or on the '__s' one).
|
||||
|
||||
Only use the '__p' and '__s' functions in a 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>'
|
||||
conditional, otherwise you'll get undefined symbols !
|
||||
|
||||
* The server is now started from 'glibtop_init__r', but only when
|
||||
it's really needed; for instance on DEC OSF/1 you only need it
|
||||
for the proc* features - if you program only fetches the CPU usage,
|
||||
now server will be started.
|
||||
|
||||
* Sorry, at the moment everything is a little bit unstable, I'm doing
|
||||
heavy changes. I've just some great ideas which still need some work:
|
||||
|
||||
-> I want to have a SUID server that only implements those features
|
||||
that need to be SUID; everything else uses the sysdeps code directly.
|
||||
|
||||
-> If a program only uses stuff that do not need the server, the
|
||||
server will not be started at all.
|
||||
|
||||
-> I'm working on some kind of proxy server that can be used on a remote
|
||||
host; in feature one can then use the MDI stuff from ghex in gtop to
|
||||
have notebook pages displaying processes from different hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
* Well it is as much unstable that it only works under Linux at the moment.

|

|

* src/server/main.c: we now use the '__p' functions,
|
||||
but only if the appropriate 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>'
|
||||
has a non-zero value.
|
||||
|
||||
* configure.in (@machine_incs@): always use
|
||||
`-I$(top_srcdir)/sysdeps/@sysdeps_dir@'; it's no
|
||||
longer conditional.
|
||||
|
||||
* examples/Makefile.am: removed the '_linux' examples.
|
||||
|
||||
* sysdeps/linux/*.c: renamed all functions implementing
|
||||
features to '__s'.
|
||||
|
||||
* lib/*.c: renamed all functions implementing features
|
||||
to '__l'; we only emit code for those functions if the
|
||||
corresponding 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>' has a positive value.

|

'__r' is mapped either on '__l' or on '__s'.
|
||||
|
||||
* sysdeps/linux/glibtop_server.h: New file -
|
||||
defines system dependent constants 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>'
|
||||
being either 'GLIBTOP_SYSDEPS_<feature>'+1 depending upon
|
||||
whether or not this feature requires using the server.
|
||||
|
||||
* lib/sysdeps.c: removed that file; it is no longer
|
||||
needed.
